Tonight I ordered the parts for my new desktop at home. After using dual-core machines for development (my work pc, and my home laptop), I’ve grown tired of the slow desktop (2Ghz athlon). So, with Jay’s assistance I’ve ended up with:
- Intel Core 2 Duo (E6400)
- 2GB RAM
- 160GB SATA HD
- GeForce 7900GS graphics card
- ASUS SLI motherboard
- 430W power supply
Components to be reused from current machine:
- 80GB drive for more storage
- DVD Burner
- Lightscribe DVD Burner
- SoundBlaster Audigy 4
- pci video card (for my third monitor)
- case
It’ll be running my second copy of Vista Business and should make for a hell of a development (and gaming for that matter) box.
